    Chopping With The Braves And Rolling With The Tide

    I have to agree with goldie here.

    Crash
    Cerrano
    Dugan

    honorable mention: Nuke Laloosh

    Harry Doyle and Terrance Mann are right up there as well if we are talking non-player characters. And while not a movie, Jim Brockmire is one of my favorite characters of all time of any genre.

    John C. Reilly was perfectly cast as a schlubby 90s catcher in the otherwise boring For Love of the Game. A pitch perfect Mike Lavalliere-type.

    Really was. A big rougher around the edges and he’d be the perfect 90s Phillie

    Trying like *ell to figure out how to find a way to binge-watch all the previous episodes - downloaded the app a week or so ago, but it's screwy and doesn't seem to have them.
    Has there EVER been a statement and question a certain someone should absolutely never have made and asked publicly more than...

    Kinda pathetic to see yourself as a message board knight in shining armor. How impotent does someone have to be in real life to resort to playing hero on a message board?

    I feel like Matt LeBlanc was miscast.

    That was the hidden theme of the movie. We're all the monkey.

    It was a very thought provoking movie.

    Braves baseball scout Gus Lobel(Clint Eastwood), his movie daughter Mickey(Amy Adams) and Braves exec Pete Klien(John Goodman).
    Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
    And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;......

    And, while with silent, lifting mind I’ve trod
    The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
    Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.
